What I Want Is
by C.F. Kelly
What I want is
For pain to heal quickly
So it’s not a constant reminder of the past
What I want is
People who are
Considerate and loving
For comfort
For peace and joy
Smiling shyly outside
On the porch or in the yard
Hear the silence
Of the peaceful night
The birds chirping has ceased
The machines have all come to halt
I’m counting your steady breathing
As I forget to pace my own
The lights are all off
Although the moon is bright and full
I feel like tonight
Everything will be
Alright
Breath 1 breath 2
Messy Room
This room is a pit Folders everywhere but the desk
Clothes strewn all over the floor
It looks like a pigs nest
The bed looks like it’s never been made
There are crumbs from last month
Or I think that’s what it is
from last months sandwich lunch
Dirty socks over here
I thought here used to be a chair
What happened to the speakers
And all over there is dirty underwear
Look there’s a moldy cup
Look up ewww yuck!
Lets clean this place up!
Oh wow this is my luck I found your pet duck!!
Ha! Silly me this room belongs to Tiffany!
We like to fight with strife, but hate it when loved ones cry
Well sing and we’ll dance for a second chance
Cuz we all like to retry yeah yeah!
So give us some peace please try, we need the joy for dry eyes
Pass over the hugs and kisses
Kleenex for all those who push and squish us lets go peace not strife!!
P-E-A-C-E Peace!
What I Have Lost
I was sitting in math class starring at the fluffy clouds that decorated the pale September sky, thinking about my later planned activities when I received a note to go to the office right after school. Confused and irritated for the short notice since it was seventh hour, I decided it might not be something bad. I made my way to the office feeling more and more frustrated and when I got there I was surprised to see my sister Angela also in the office. We exchanged comments and then both looked to see Sherry Toelle, our DHS worker, walking into the office. I felt a mix of emotions as she walked in with all her papers thrown carelessly into her arms, and the heavy bag she wore on her right shoulder. She acknowledged us with her regular hi, how are you questions and we replied with our usual phony answers such as fine and okay’s. We chatted for a while and my stomach kept turning sensing the bad news coming on, and fast. I remember glancing over at the empty chair next to me then across the small room at the closed blinds and then Sherry's voice penetrating my concentration with "so I will transport you to Quakerdale tonight and it will only be about a week until we get you back to Atlantic to the foster home..." I blocked out the rest with all guards up and my emotions swirling around like a hurricane and all I could do is get out of that room. I felt how hot my face was burning and the angry tiers threatening to flood over and reveal my emotions. I ran out of the conference room before Sherry could say anything further. With no open doors to run into to hide from this new information I stormed into the bathroom. I couldn't stand to look in the mirror. From the quick glance I took all I saw was a red faced and angry girl with black holes for eyes and pain seeped out the stone mask that had been worn for way too long. I know that you want me to describe a time a lost something. In this memory in September I lost my home, my freedom, and my life as I knew it.

I thought,
i thought you should know
my feelings for you are strong
like a hurricane my heart aches and yeams for yours
my body is melted by your touch
like ice, kissed by fire..
when i see you
my mind goes blank..
and your all i want.
to see you, and to feel you
yet i hide these feelings
somewhat..
because im not sure these
feelings are valid in you
what im trying to say
is that i love you
and hope you feel the same.
Christina was a star of the fall play. She thought about it every night and day.
The running ‘round backstage just wore her out
And telling rowdy actors cut it out
They made her mad enough to scream and shout
Then when the show was done they laughed out loud
With knowing they made Shuman mighty proud
Yes, Heather is a swimmer that’s for sure,
she waits to do what she really adores
she likes to swim 2 hours everyday
although her body is so very sore she jumps into the pool with much amore
She swims lap after lap watching her stroke
And breathing in some air so she don’t croak.
Christina and Heather had study hall
And watching crazy people walk about
The study teacher wants to scream and shout
Instead she hit them in the head with doubt
The students laughed and went about their day
the principal said hey that is okay!
my awesome possom digital story... :) i like it!!!
Just a poem i felt like writhing...
Maybe you shouldn't know it
it by me has been denied..
these feelings have found me
and placed themselves secretly inside
My heart is a scary weapon
unpermittedly placed in your hands
i think the worst but hope the best
it's these feelings that hold me scared
We talk and joke and cry and hope
these things we do each day
i really hope that one of these days
my efforts will finally pay!
Is it fate? will you say it?
Someday that you feel the same?
i dont hope for an end which holds
selfish bend, but for one that is in a happy end.
I pretty much hate my sonnet cuz im tired and lack enthusiasm.. here u b
The wonders of the world were on display
The snow fell from the darkly clouded sky
The children went out side to laugh and play
Frosty said yay now I don’t have to die
The storm hit and the horses freaked a bit
The owner of them freaked and ran and tripped
The horses whined as they jumped and spit
The people ran there to the barn and slipped
Cabin fever soon sunk inside and grew
Night shift screamed and shouted from the farm site
It was a lot worse for the morning crew
The winter storm when gone grew food to height
The spring soon came and melted snow away
I wish this happened for us too this day
